More Rolling Landscape

I've posted before about
the simple Rolling Landscape quilt that quickly developed into a
Series of 6 landscapes. Subsequently, I was asked by my quilt guild
to teach a class on my free-hand cutting and curve piecing
techniques. Here's a picture again of my first landscape, a sunset.

And, here is the first one
I get to quilt for one of my students. Wow, what a sunset! And, the
purple mountains! And the rolling greens that flow past the waters,
down to desert sands at the bottom. Beautiful!

That black piece
represents the city lights as seen from a distance. Can you see the
tiny night lights?

While I usually quilt
these pieces with tiny textures that don't really represent anything
recognizable, the setting sun on this piece just cried out for
radiating sunrays. Gives the sky so much depth, don't you think?
